My Twitter usage is down a lot since they killed off 3rd party clients.
Every user hostile move they've made basically halves my usage.
I used to spend way too much time on Twitter, now it's 10 minutes a week and I don't feel like I miss much.
Just a boring echochamber.
Its the twitter equivalent of youtube thumbnail face with 10 million $$$$$$$ in the title.
He is killing engagement and ad income, has to slow the bleed, and is now looking under every rock for some gains, GOTO 1.
I've been meaning to make a Twitter account since I follow a few accounts for some games that I play.
Between Twitter not being owned by a loon anymore and finally a reason to overcome my laziness, why not?
And yes, I know I'm playing right into Twitter's hand. Whatever, I actually like Musk anyway (an unpopular opinion that will no doubt get me flagged around these parts).
And then it will magically open back up. (More press)
And that's the story of pretty much every one of the outrageous/bold/brilliant/terrible strategic decisions you've heard of since the Twitter takeover.
What's most amazing is that it works everytime, I'm surprised there isn't an Onion copy/paste article about this each time.
